garlic shrimp

Scampi with allium

Garlic shrimp is a dish of shrimp sautéed or grilled with generous amounts of garlic, typically in butter or oil.

The Hawaiian version, made famous by food trucks on Oahu's North Shore, usually comes over rice: We stopped for garlic shrimp at Giovanni's.

Variations appear across cuisines from Spanish to Chinese.
